BRISTOL’S MOST DESIRABLE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT The final phase of Harbourside, FIND Y UR PERFECT PLACE the destination development that has transformed Bristol’s waterfront, is now here. IT IS INVICTA. This is the final opportunity to buy at the award-winning Harbourside development, where Crest Nicholson is now offering a range of stylish contemporary studio suites, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Most have private balconies and some have a roof terrace. The location is as stunning as the building, facing the Millennium Promenade and overlooking the Floating Harbour and Porto Quay. Invicta is therefore at the very heart of all that Harbourside has to offer. The name Invicta has been chosen to celebrate Bristol’s historic trading links with the Portuguese city of Porto, an exporter of port wine since the early eighteenth century. In 1823, Porto also earned the accolade ‘cidade invicta’ – the unvanquished city – after holding out against a long siege. Nearly 200 years later, Invicta creates another link in the story of Bristol’s dynamic maritime past, as Harbourside grows and continues to play its role in the resurgence of the city’s waterfront.
